Of the many expansion teams in the NHL, the one with the most fan influence is perhaps the Nashville Predators. The city of Nashville was offering $20 to the New Jersey Devils to relocate to Nashville before they settled terms that kept the Devils East Rutherford at the Continental Airlines Arena. Nashville also made attempts to relocate the Sacramento Kings to Tennessee but were unsuccessful. When NHL commissioner went to visit the Nashville Arena in 1997, thousands of hockey fans were outside to greet the commissioner. Nashville was serious body getting a hockey franchise. Commissioner Bettman would grant the Nashville Predators a place in the NHL if they were to sell 12,000 season tickets before the start of the 1998 season. They did, and the Predators have been looking for success since. With zero division titles and zero playoff appearances since 1998, the Predators are hoping for some form of success in the NHL.

They hope the signing of head coach Peter Laviolette this past offseason will be their key to success this upcoming season. It will be a tough assignment for Laviolette, particularly in his first season as he tries to implement his philosophies and play style on his new club. It may take a few season and new personnel, but the Nashville Predators are hopefully headed in the right direction. The fans in Nashville should be excited for the years ahead.
